Gideons International handed out bibles in schools. Reading didn’t improve.
Education is an invitation, not a gift. Computers are very useful for managing information as a commodity in packets but knowledge is understanding the abstract relationships between the packets. That is a trick best left to the diversity of community. Much of understanding defies standard definitions. (Love still stymies me.) Supplying a tool that favours solitude over community seems to result more in unchecked hubris than knowledge.
